i know this sounds bizarre

but ... oh well

here goes

the question is this:

has anyone made a raw pie that was "green"?

it could be a savory pie

as well

just wondering how you did it

i love the color green

and i think it would look gorgeous and well... it just seems "right"

to try and make a green looking pie

Matt Amsden's book has a recipe for a sweet pie[nut crust filling, natch] with a filling made with whizzed raw cashews, coconut butter and spirulina. I've never tried it. Anyone tried it? I suppose it could be made with spirulina mixed with pureed cashews, tomatoes, carrots, lettuces and avo . . .

suspended,

Yes that was "Rawvolution." Thanks for reminding me about that Mushroom and Spinach Quiche. Yes, it looks tasty, but I have not had luck with the onion "bread" that is the crust : (

If you check out the recipes at the sunny raw kitchen blog you're sure to find something for a savory pie crust, that woman is AMAZING with the gourmet raw recipes. I was thinking spinach too, easy to marinate and blend or chop up with some other veg and spices. You could do something with that spanish moss to make a kind of aspic like dish. I made a bean sprout stir fry thing once that would be interesting in a pie like crust. W sprouted quinoa or something like that, a grainy salad in a crust. Nice.

hey all

thanks for the replies

i think i'll use spinach, parsley and maybe some celery

do u just chop it up?

i once had a raw spinach pie made by a company ( forget the name)
it was a packaged deal

and it was sooooooooooooo amazing

the consistency, texture etc.

it looks like it was made from a special machine .. not quite blended and not quite chopped but have no idea how they got that consistency.. so awesome though

any ideas?

make a mixture, chop some of it, and blend the rest... and mix them together so you have that combination of textures... me,I hate anything thats just ONE texture usually, chips are about all that can get away with that with me, and I prefer a dip to go with them...lol

ohhh... that's an excellent idea

1. chop
2. blend

okay.. got it

when u say u don't like anything of ONE texture, do you mean ONE food has to have different textures?

that sounds intriguing... but i'm a little confused

okay.. so... chips have ONE texture ?

i guess its kind of subjective..

i mean.. chips , to me ( like those raw chips.. like kale chips) have a LOT of texture. esp. if they are spicy kale chips...

but then again, i guess it depends on the type of chip

interesting

but i will do the chop and blend

great idea

thanks!!
